Although Tang Yan was not fully conscious at this moment, every move he made was not aimless.

In his spiritual world, countless lethal strikes materialized, targeting him, and each of Tang Yan’s moves was a defense against these crises.

As Tang Yan’s speed increased, the power and speed combined to make all his martial techniques auxiliary.

"Bang! Bang!" The occasional combination of martial arts and combat skills filled the air with dust and an imposing aura.

As his speed increased, after a while, Tang Yan began to leave afterimages.

"Bang!"

Finally, after Tang Yan threw a punch, his body came to a stop.

The surroundings were silent, with only Tang Yan’s steady breathing.

Tang Yan stood still, motionless, while an extremely subtle aura began to grow from his dantian.

Inside the dantian, it seemed as though a small figure was engaged in continuous combat. Suddenly, it threw a punch that shattered all the barriers within the dantian.

The swirling qi within the dantian accelerated in an instant, and countless spiritual energies began to gather and flow to his limbs and bones.

A feeling of immense satisfaction washed over Tang Yan, and he felt an overwhelming surge of strength!

He had reached the Xuan Rank!

Feeling the surging qi inside his dantian, a smile appeared at the corner of Tang Yan's mouth.

Although Tang Yan had never reached the pinnacle of martial arts in his past life, he frequently interacted with top-tier experts, and his experience and perception were extraordinary.

After analyzing the situation, his heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.

He had just entered the "Enlightenment Realm" that martial artists longed for! And it was the Combat Realm!

By breaking the dantian’s barriers with the Combat Realm, not only had he broken through to the Xuan Rank, but he had also planted the seed of combat within himself, allowing him to fight purely on instinct!

Before he could celebrate, the Heavenly Creation Fire within his dantian suddenly flared, its color becoming brighter.

"Supreme Pill Sutra, Fire Control Technique, Advanced Edition..." A mantra suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Creation Cauldron.

After carefully digesting the mantra, Tang Yan felt a surge of joy.

Originally, the Fire Control Technique only had a method for simple control, but no cultivation method.

Now, with the mantra's guidance, Tang Yan realized that using the Heavenly Creation Fire was straightforward.

The first method involved using one’s strength— the stronger the practitioner, the longer and more powerful the fire would be, but this relied on burning the practitioner’s qi, which was relatively simple.

The second method involved using precious treasures, which would be refined in the Creation Cauldron and extract elements useful for the Heavenly Creation Fire, thereby enhancing its power.

The third method was to devour spiritual flames. If one encountered spiritual flames from the world, devouring them would boost the Heavenly Creation Fire’s power.

Ordinary spiritual treasures only had a limited effect on the Heavenly Creation Fire, but devouring spiritual flames would yield far greater results.

However, in the entire Tianxiang Kingdom, there were no records of spiritual flames, and finding one would be exceedingly difficult.

Tang Yan sighed inwardly. The Heavenly Creation Cauldron, as the premier cauldron of China, contained too many secrets. To unveil these layers, he needed to continue improving his strength.

These matters couldn’t be rushed. Tang Yan stopped dwelling on them. Feeling his skyrocketing strength, he smiled slightly and, using his Phantom Step, headed back to the Fire Ape Peak.

The Fire Apes, who had won in the previous battle, were now eagerly awaiting the next fight, determined to kill Tang Yan.

The Fire Apes, who had always despised Tang Yan, were now eagerly awaiting his return.

Since Tang Yan had escaped earlier, the Fire Apes had been eagerly watching the base of the mountain. After three hours, they had expected him to return, but no sign of him appeared. As time passed, the Fire Apes began to grow restless.

"That human is truly despicable! He toyed with us for days, and now that our king is out, he dares to run and not show up!" they cursed.

Just as they were lamenting, one Fire Ape suddenly cried out in excitement.

The others perked up immediately and looked toward the mountain's base. When that familiar figure appeared, the Fire Apes were overcome with joy.

"Finally!" they shouted in their primitive way.

Though they were spirit beasts and not human, they did not possess the same level of tact. Their excitement was pure and direct.

Tang Yan could not help but chuckle inwardly. These beasts were eager to tear him apart.

The Fire Ape King stood at the back of the group as usual. Tang Yan ignored its contemptuous gaze and thought to himself, "I’m not afraid if you come out. But if you don’t, these second-tier Fire Apes are no match for me."

"Howl!" The Fire Ape King gave a command, and the Fire Apes rushed toward Tang Yan.

With the massive group charging at him, Tang Yan remained unafraid, his speed matching theirs as he sprinted forward to meet the charge.

Soon, the Fire Ape King’s gaze turned serious. The disdain he had earlier vanished.

Previously, under his command, this despicable human was a pushover. But now, this guy was handling them with ease.

The last time, though Tang Yan was fast, his attacks still had vulnerabilities.

But now, this guy’s moves had become seamless— each strike flowed naturally and effortlessly, as though he had perfected it.

"Howl!" The Fire Ape King growled angrily, continuing to lead his apes in the assault. But after a while, the Fire Apes failed to land a hit, and Tang Yan’s swift attacks began to injure the Fire Apes. The battle quickly turned in his favor, leaving only five Fire Apes still capable of fighting.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before they all fell.

"Howl!" The Fire Ape King let out a mighty roar, and the Fire Apes ceased their attacks, retreating to the side.

The Fire Ape King slowly stepped forward, and Tang Yan’s expression grew serious.

The Fire Ape King bared its teeth and charged toward Tang Yan.

Tang Yan, now at the first level of the Xuan Rank, was eager to test his strength against a third-tier spirit beast.

"Boom!"

The clash of fists between man and beast created an enormous sound.

Tang Yan staggered back one step, while the Fire Ape King only swayed slightly.

"The strength is still a bit lacking, but it should be enough to deal with you now!" Tang Yan muttered, now confident in his abilities. He lunged forward, throwing a barrage of punches at the Fire Ape King.

The Fire Ape King was also incredibly fast, and the two clashed violently in the mountains.

Half an hour passed, and during the fight, Tang Yan suddenly noticed an opening in the Fire Ape King's defense. With his combat instinct in full swing, his attacks flowed seamlessly, and with a swift motion, his Thousand Mountain Fist struck.
